Hans-Lukas Teuber (August 7, 1916 – January 4, 1977) was a professor of psychology and head of the psychology department at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1] He was one of the founders of neuropsychology[2] and studied perception. He coined the term double dissociation.[3] He also introduced the "Corollary Discharge" hypothesis.[4] He gave the classic definition of agnosia as "a normal percept stripped of its meaning".[5]

He was the recipient of the Karl Spencer Lashley Award in 1966.
